favaks 0 #1 August 16, 2001 A quick test of intelligence. Don't cheat! If you do, the testwill be no fun. There is no trick to this test.Read this sentence:FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITHTHE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.Now count aloud the F's in that sentence. Count them ONLY ONCE: donot go back and count them again.Answer below:ANSWER:There are six F's in the sentence. One of average intelligencefinds three of them.If you spotted four, you're above average. If you got five, you canturn your nose at most anybody. If you caught six, you are a genius.There is no catch. Many people forget the "OF"'s. The human brain tendsto see them as V's and not F's.Pretty weird huh?It fools almost everybody.

skymama 37 #16 August 17, 2001 I got 3 the first time I read it a few months ago, and 5 this time. So, I guess that means I'm smart enough to remember that there was something tricky about it, but STILL not smart enough to catch them all. Sigh....maybe the third time will be the charm.Andrea"Up high, I feel like I'm alive for the very first time" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
